Letter
ൔ • (m)
- (archaic) ചില്ലക്ഷരം (vowelless consonant) of consonant മ.
- This letter, like other chillus, never occurs as the first letter of any Malayalam word.
Eg. ഹന്തുൔ: /hɐn̪t̪um̩/ or /hɐn̪t̪uᵊm/ (meaning: 'to kill')
Usage notes
- It's used instead of the ം when the preceding consonant was having a vowel other than the inherited vowel /ɐ/.
Alternative forms
- മ്
- ം (formerly wasn't used with a consonant if it was followed by a vowel other than the inherited vowel i.e. /ɐ/)
